Maybe a silly question, but do i set the valve clearances to the same 0.25mm with a new 272/284 cam fitted? Just thought i'd check before i set them up tonight.

Car's going into the garage on Friday to get the head fitted - should be back on the road again by the weekend hopefully! :D

Sorry Rich - i clean forgot!

See here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... eName=WD2V

That's the German ebay link to L&S Cartec, also known as mdr-team who are selling the cam.

The guy i've been dealing with can be contacted at
